worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago how our current medical establishment is recycling COVID myths to minimize measles.
💯 And doctors who know their patients have it but won’t diagnose it
People will really say *anything* to not have to say Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

I wonder how many people realize this is the norm.
“Households containing an adult w/a work-disability require, on average…an additional $17,690/year…to obtain the same standard of living as a comparable household w/o a member w/a disability.”

“No country in the world has reached full legal equality for women and girls.”
Read that again. Nowhere.
No one is free until all of us are free.

An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.
For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

I’m only not a cat owner because I’m too in love with my cat who died to be able to even consider replacing her, so had to switch to dog ownership
10 minutes late is my goal but I’m usually running late so more like C
Unless you’re best of besties being early is much more rude than being late! From VA

Book cover ‚DOING HARM The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick‘ by Maya Dusenbery (several orange post-its on the right side in the book)
Whoever recommended this book to me (I think it was here on BSky): Thank you!
Imho every MD & HCW should know about it - ,Doing Harm‘ should be a must-read in the study programme.

It’s interesting that we now have multiple classes of drugs (thinking of naltrexone) that in full doses work on addiction but in tiny doses help neuroinflammation/ME/Long Covid/MCAS. Micro-dosing Tirzepatide has given me my appetite back & allowed me to gain needed weight that I lost to Long Covid
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
Also the beginning of a lot of Long Covid first wavers having their bodies & lives demolished
And by creeps I mean criminals & pedophiles because everyone knew the girls were girls
Yeahh, I just finished reading Nobody’s Girl & the MO was very much that the she’d be “sent” to do a job & never even introduced to the creeps. She only learned who a lot of them were years later from identifying them in pictures

Such wild synchronicity! I love that we were in dreamland together 😭 And I don’t usually tell people when I dream about them so I’m so grateful she texted too
My freshman roommate texted today to say we were at an event together in her dream last night & she got down on her knees & started bawling because she was so happy to see me for the first time in years, which is extremely weird BECAUSE I DREAMT THE SAME THING!
